Balancing the Blips
WHEN:
Moments in your day that throw you off, like someone’s tone, a last-minute change, or just feeling behind. That’s your cue to shift your mental framing before it quietly shapes your headspace for the rest of the day.
ACTION:
Focus on how you shift your mental framing after something throws you off, so you can return to form without losing momentum.
Try:
➢ Asking yourself: “Do I actually need to deal with this now, or is it just loud in my head?”
➢ Saying: “This one thing doesn’t cancel out everything that’s going well.”
➢ Noticing when you start second-guessing, but choosing to finish the task with care, not perfection.
➢ Before a pressure moment (like speaking in a team meeting or sending something important), ask: “What’s the point I’m trying to get across and what outcome actually matters here?”
➢ Taking a 5-minute reset: step outside, drink water, or close your tabs when your mind starts spiralling.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
Small moments of self-doubt can pull your focus for hours. These quick mental reframes stop the spiral so you don’t waste your energy or your time.
Light Structure for This Week:
Catch one mindset shift early, and move on.
One grounded thought is stronger than spiralling through doubt.
